I was just looking at the other thread about show attire and saw some nice driving pictures and wondered what size those mini's were. Then I got to thinking I always want to know how tall when I see mini pictures especially in the cart, size it looks deceiving.

Could I see some pictures of you guys driving your mini's and tell me the size/inches of your mini.

Thanks
 
Here's my daughter driving our stallion 32"

I think that's the sign of a well-proportioned horse- when you can't tell how tall they are without having something in the picture to compare them to!

This is Kody, he's 33.5".

Shown in his Graber show cart with 24" wheels.

And in his Bellcrown Minicrown.

Turbo is a little bigger than him but looks MUCH bigger than he really is because he's so leggy. I can't wait to see him in harness in the next couple of years.

Thank you all so much for the driving pictures with horses sizes, you all look fantastic. One thing that was slipping by my attention was the fact that the tire size was growing with the horse size!
 
Here is my mare, Hidden Timber's Heaven Sent "Wish". She is 35.5" tall and put to my wooden easy entry with 24" wheels (though the wheels actually measure 26" with the rubber rim)

My 34.5" gelding Buck put to the same cart.

Buck put to the Frontier easy entry cart. I think this cart has 20" wheels

Buck put to the Hyperbike. I think that has 24" wheels.

Maggie is 33 1/2" tall, summer and winter pictures. Have forgotten how big my wheels are, will have to go measure them.

Have to admit, I am at her limit with this cart, driving where I do. Lots of hills.

If I was going to drive all the time, I would want a Miniature a bit taller with a good build. Or a Hyper bike for Maggie.
